Golden Apples The Golden Apples of Asgard are magic apples that grow in a golden orchard in Asgard. Asgard is the home of the Aesir, some of the Gods of the Norse Pantheon. The orchard is grown by the Goddess Idunna. The Gods must eat these apples in order to stay young, and have robust health. But were these mystical fruits really apples? We will discuss some theories.

The Germanic languages are Indo-European, but much of their structure resembles Hebrew, Arabic, and other Semitic languages - suggesting a surprising story.
This wide-ranging study offers a new understanding of Old Norse kinship in which the individual self was expanded to encompass its kin. Family interactions in Old Norse myth and legend were often fraught, competitive, even violent as well as loving, protective and supportive. Focusing particularly on intergenerational relationships in the legendary sagas, the Poetic Edda and Snorra Edda, this book reveals not only why ambivalence was so characteristic of mythic-heroic kinship relations but how they were able to endure, even thrive, in spite of such pressures. Close attention is paid to the way gender inflects the dynamic between parents and their children and to the patronymic naming system which prevailed in Old Norse society, while outdated assumptions about the existence of a special relationship between a man and his sister's son inherited from earlier Germanic society are reassessed for the first time in decades. What emerges from this wide-ranging study is a new understanding of Old Norse kinship as a dynamic transpersonal process rather than a presocial fact, in which the individual self was expanded to encompass its kin. Taking the lead from recent anthropological research into kinship and with exciting implications for our understanding of Old Norse personhood, emotions, and the life course, this book challenges its readers to rethink many of the basic ontological assumptions which they bring to their interpretations of Old Norse myth and legend.

About Ed OrgBorn in Shropshire in 1955, Ed had an idyllic childhood among woods, fields, secret pools and ruined barns, which helped fire his imagination for mythological work. In the 1970s Ed undertook a Foundation course at Shrewsbury College of Art, and then completed a Fine Art degree at Cheltenham College of Art, with his final degree show based on "The Lord of the Rings".Until the early 90s Ed worked as a graphic designer in the advertising industry, and then in 1993 he chose to follow his heart and leave safe employment to pursue his own path, and started to create personal works on a mythological theme in watercolour and intricate pencil drawings. He is influenced by his favourite artist, Edward Burne-Jones, but also the book illustrators, Arthur Rackham, Willy Pogany, Russell Flint, Charles Robinson, and others. The landscapes of Devon, the Lake District and local woodland are a feature in many of his pieces. His larger works can take up to 18 months to complete. Ed also produces open and limited edition prints of many of his works.Ed has undertaken numerous commissions, the most notable being several corporate designs for the Wychwood Brewery including 'Hobgoblin', 'Black Wych' and 'Fiddler's Elbow'.Ed has a strong following and many collectors across the UK and abroad.Obsidian has been showing Ed's work since we first opened in 2002, and we now showcase his work in an annual solo show.X
Arthur Rackham (1867 – 1939) is widely regarded as one of the leading illustrators from the 'Golden Age' of British book illustration which encompassed the years from 1900 until the start of the First World War. Arthur Rackham's works have become very popular since his death, both in North America and Britain. His images have been widely used by the greeting card industry and many of his books are still in print or have been recently available in both paperback and hardback editions. His original drawings and paintings are keenly sought at the major international art auction houses. This is part 4 of an 8-part post on the works of Arthur Rackham. For full biographical notes see part 1. Part 4 features two related books: “The Rhinegold” and the “Valkyrie and Siegfried and the Twilight of the Gods,” both based on operas by Richard Wagner, that constitute his Der Ring des Nibelungen (The Ring of the Nibelung). “The Rhinegold” was originally written as an introduction to the tripartite Ring, but the cycle is now generally regarded as consisting of four individual operas. “Twilight of the Gods” is the last opera of the cycle. The title is a translation into German of the Old Norse phrase Ragnarök, which in Norse mythology refers to a prophesied war of the gods that brings about the end of the world. However, as with the rest of the Ring, Wagner's account of this apocalypse diverges significantly from his Old Norse sources. Wagner's plans for the cycle grew backwards from the tale of the death of the hero Siegfried, to include his youth and then the story of the events around his conception and of how the Valkyrie Brünnhilde was punished for trying to save his parents against Wotan's instructions. The Rhinegold and the Valkyrie published in 1910: 1910 Cover of The Rhinegold and the Valkyrie Title page "Raging, Wotan rides to the Rock! Like a storm-wind he comes!"

Mime writhes under the lashes he receives Alberich drives in a band of Niblungs laden with gold and silver treasure "Ohe! Ohe! Horrible dragon, O swallow me not! Spare the life of poor Loge!" "Hey! Come hither, and stop me this cranny!" Fafner kills Fasolt "To my hammer's swing hitherward sweep vapours and fogs! Hovering Mists! Donner, your lord, summons his hosts!" "The Rhine's fair children, bewailing their lost gold, weep" "This healing and honeyed draught of mead deign to accept from me" Hunding discovers the likeness between Siegmund and Sieglinde Sieglinde prepares Hunding's draught for the night "Siegmund the Walsung thou dost see!

For Wotan fling it away!" The wooing of Grimhilde, the mother of Hagen "Swear to me. Hagen, my son!" "O wife betrayed. I will avenge thy trust deceived" "Though gaily ye may laugh. In grief ye shall be left. For mocking maids, this ring ye ask shall never be yours" "Siegfried! Siegfried! Our warning is true, flee, oh flee from the curse!" Brunnhilde on Grane leaps on to the funeral pyre of Siegfried The Rhine-Maidens obtain possession of the ring and bear it off in triumph
Just as with other Germanic people, magic was an important element in Anglo-Saxon life, with broader connections to the paradigm of Germanic mythology.
The problem is that real people suffer from these conditions.
